The women behind the men who became PM

Author speaks

Five Minute Mysteries author and entertaining historian Ken Weber will speak in Brampton next Thursday (Jan. 17) at the Brampton Historical Society’s (BHS) monthly meeting, which is open to the public.
Weber, a former teacher with a passion for Canadian history, will present “Stand by Your Man, More or Less”, a fascinating story of the women who have accompanied our prime ministers to Ottawa since 1867.
Weber has written more than 52 books resulting in more than five million copies sold, including translations into 22 languages. He has also appeared on CBC radio and television and is a regular contributor to In the Hills magazine.
He is a humorous, gifted speaker who makes history entertaining, and he is a much-sought after speaker who has been booked solid for the past two years.
He will speak at the BHS meeting at the Heart Lake Presbyterian Church, 25 Ruth Ave. (west of Kennedy Road, north of Bovaird Drive East) at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 17.
Everyone is welcome with free admission for all BHS members and a $5 fee for non-members.
